Thinking man's pub or hellraiser's haunt? Although the walls are adorned with pictures of some of literature's greats, the books on display are thick with the dust of ten thousand nights. You can make what you want of a night in the Enterprise, from a rather delightful meal to some debauched drunkenness.

If you fancy a spot of the latter with some live music thrown in, the upstairs gig room is the perfect place. A century ago this was no doubt the living room of some upper-crust Victorian gent and his family. Now you can flail around to the sounds of some of the best up-and-coming bands on its small stage, spilling beer and sweat with reckless abandon.

In short, this is an excellent pub, just a short crawl from Chalk Farm tube and the sort of place you can enter at dusk as a respectable diner and leave in the early hours as a slurring, singing drunkard.

The Enterprise is one of Spoonfed's Best Indie Venues in London.
